Have you changed the oil filter recently - it could that it may be loose or the seal is passing - the filter is situated on the passenger side forward of the sliding door and it is dripping on to the shroud and then onto the floor.

The thick oil seed rape oil can cause a dribble from the fuel pump. Try running on pure diesel and see if said leak stops .

Lift the seats & have a look & a feel, see if you can see where it's coming from.
